Remember we're dealing with untanned areas, Uhtred. If instead of faces we were dealing with a picture of buttocks in a row, I wonder if you'll be able to guess their nationality.

Olive skin is type 4 to 5! This skin sort of dominates Mediterranean regions, the Middle-East and parts of Northern Africa, other parts of Asia again. This skin type might appear lighter when sun exposure is limited. Although lighter olive skin tans or darkens more easily than fair skin. In Europe, olive skin is commonest in the south and used to be in far-north ( pure Saamis). It is rarest in North-West Europe.
These Spanish women have olive skin.

Those women have only slightly more than average sun tan.

Garbage! At least 73% belong to skin phototypes I/II which are the fairest skin types! This is higher than any other nation in Northern Europe outside of the British Isles. The Irish, Scottish, Welsh and of course English are fairest-skinned on the face of the earth. The image of a " short and dark Welshmen" is nothing but a myth or a stereotype developed by their Anglo-Saxon masters. The Welsh might be on average darker-haired than their Germanic cousins ( English), but are in no way darker-skinned. Due to their Celtic heritage, they have a high propensity for pale skin (I) and red hair than the English or any other Northern European group outside of the British Isles. Let get our facts straight here.

This is not the impression I have from other Anthropologists. The Welsh are indeed swarthier than the Irish, along with more curly haired and more black haired.
10.37% of Welsh have coal-black hair. This doesn’t include brownish-black. No other native Northern European population (excluding Sami) comes close to that. The Welsh appears to have the curliest hair in Northern Europe. In Ireland wavy hair is common, but really curly hair like which is common in the Southwest extremes of Europe, is quite rare in Ireland and much more common among the Welsh. Swarthy skin is much more common among the Welsh than the Irish, let alone sallow skin.
